The Ironheart finale confirms the introduction of a new Marvel villain, and it's a character fans have been theorizing about for a while.

Ironheart finally pulled back the curtain on the man pulling the strings – and supplying the Hood – behind Parker Robbins' daring grab for power in Chicago. But while he wears one face, fans will be pleased to know that his comic-accurate form is hiding in plain sight.

In the final sequence, Riri is first made to encounter Zeke, who has been empowered with bionics by Parker, making him the latter's puppet. A brutal fight ensues, but Riri manages to win in the end. She also helps Zeke disconnect from Parker, freeing him from The Hood's control.
